Monitoring Log Week Beginning 04/02/13

This week my aim was to work mainly on my images and make sure they are at a high enough quality to insert onto indesign and photoshop.
My first photo shoot was outdoors at Brimham Rocks. I only had access to my own personal camera which isn’t as professional as the college cameras although I still feel I got some good quality photographs. I needed to take lots of landscape shots in this photo shoot. I also found some people who were bouldering and climbing from the rocks. I asked if I could take pictures of them for my media project and I feel these images made my article feel more personal. The weather wasn’t great on the day that I took pictures so I didn’t have the best lighting. There was fog and clouds so my images give off a dull and gloomy vibe that I didn’t want. To improve these images I would have waited until the weather was nicer and taken the pictures on a different day, although the short time scale for the project meant I couldn’t do this. 



I spent the majority of this week manipulating these images and inserting them into my article on InDesign. For the layout of this article I took inspiration from an alternative sport magazine called DOR. I placed my images right up to the edge of my page to make it different from my other articles. I really like where my images are placed on this article. I feel they look modern and sporty. To finish this I just need to insert my text and add some bold quotes.
